Hi,
I am using openldap-2.4.19-4.x86_64 on fedora 12 machine. On client
node, in /etc/ldap.conf file, we specify binddn and bindpw. If not
specified, the request will be anonymous. I have on each client machine
more than 500 users. I want to send the request to server as an
authenticated user but users are 500+. Then, how do I specify this in
binddn and bindpw. I don't want to specify 'root' (admin) in binddn and
bindpw. I have rootbinddn as root's dn and his password in /etc/ldap.secret
(mode 600).
As earlier said, anonymous request is creating 'I have no name!'
problem while doing $ssh <user>@client, since I have given anonymous user
auth access. If I specify anonymous read access, 'I have no name!' problem
disappears but security is getting compromised. I think there is no problem
with nscd daemon, since it is stopped or even I uninstalled that, the
problem still persists.
